One day yur pcket might pwer yur smartphne.Sn yu may never have t wrry abut yur smartphne running ut f juice ⑪.Yur clthing will simply pwer it back up fr yu.That’s the wrd frm scientists at China’s Chngqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the jurnal ACS Nan.

Scientists have had sme past success creating energy-harvesting fibers.But there was always ne prblem when they tried t fashin these threads int self-pwered smart clthes.The fibers they designed gt damaged during the clthing manufacturing prcess,namely during the weaving and cutting.The Chngqing and Jinan University scientists say they’ve slved this prblem because the energy-cllecting and energy-string threads they created are highly flexible—each individual thread is easily bendable,and nt simply the fabric as a whle.
The team’s sample textile can be fully charged t 1.2 vlts in 17 secnds by expsure t sunlight—enugh vltage that yur future smart T-shirt r smart dress might be able t pwer small electrnics.It’s durable,t;their research shwed there was n decrease in the fabric after 60 days.But dn’t wrry that this means the fabric is similar t rugh clth.The scientists nte their textile can be fashined int many different patterns,and tailred int any designed shape,withut affecting perfrmance.

3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一个广告中的“And if that’s nt enugh excitement,listen clsely fr incredible tales f man-eating pelicans and crazy lst turists.”可知如果游客觉得前面的活动还不够令人激动,他们可以听不可思议的食人鹈鹕和疯狂的迷失游客的故事。由此可知答案为D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了住在养老院里的梅琳达生日的时候回想起以往的生活和丈夫曾经的承诺,她很怀念去世的丈夫Thmas。
4.B 推理判断题。由第一段中“Thmas passed away a week ag.”和“Unfrtunately,he has brken the prmise that he and Melinda had made...”这两句可推知:他没有遵守诺言是因为他去世了,故答案为B项。
5.D 词义猜测题。结合上文语境和后面的“life filled with laughter and lve”可知,生活充满了笑声和爱,由此可推断:他们过着开心的生活,故选D项。
6.C 推理判断题。最后一段讲述了梅琳达和家人欢聚,她举起酒和大家干杯,由最后一句“This ne is fr yu,Thmas,thugh yu are nt here.”可推知:梅琳达非常想念她的丈夫,故答案为C项。
7.A 主旨大意题。文章开头讲述了梅琳达在养老院等待家人到来的时候,回想起丈夫和自己的约定:每年的生日都在一起,之后讲述了她怀念以前的生活,以及丈夫去世后儿女们为她过生日的情景,由此可知最佳标题应为A项“一个特别的生日”。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上有一半的语言面临灭绝的危险,一个名叫Wikitngues的非营利性组织正致力于拯救世界语言,目前有很多人志愿参与进来。
8.A 推理判断题。由第三段中“ a language disappears,many ther things can g away as well.Fr example,parts f a cmmunity’s culture,knwledge and identity can als be lst.”可知,当一种语言消失时,一个群体的部分文化、知识和身份也会随之消失,也就是人们可能会不确定自己的真正种族,故A项正确。
9.C 细节理解题。由第二段中“One nn-prfit rganizatin seeking t save wrld languages is a New Yrk-based grup called Wikitngues.”可知,Wikitngues是一个致力于拯救世界语言的非营利性组织,故C项正确。
10.C 细节理解题。由最后一段中“Klkwe is hping his invlvement with Wikitngues can help keep Subiya and ther African languages frm ging extinct.”可知,Klkwe参与志愿活动旨在阻止他的母语消失,故C项正确。
11.D 推理判断题。由第四段中“There is n way an utside rganizatin can save smene’s language fr them.”这一句可知,Udell说一个外部组织不可能拯救别人的语言,也就是说只有本群体的成员才能拯救自己的语言,故D项正确。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者们一直在开发一种可以穿戴的能源,即一种新型的可以利用太阳能自行充电的服装,从而可以很容易地为智能手机等电子产品充电。
12.A 词义猜测题。由上一句“One day yur pcket might pwer yur smartphne.”以及后一句“Yur clthing will simply pwer it back up fr yu.”可知,此处表示“不用担心手机没电”,故A项正确。
13.D 细节理解题。由第二段中“S if yu culd design clthing fabric that culd make use f slar pwer”可知,如果能设计出一种可以利用太阳能的服装面料,就可以做到用衣服充电了,故正确答案为D项。
14.A 推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“The scientists nte their textile can be fashined int many different patterns,and tailred int any designed shape,withut affecting perfrmance.”可知,科学家对于未来这种衣服的制造是乐观的,故答案为A项。
15.C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文的写作目的是向读者介绍研究者们正在研发一种新型的可以穿戴的能源,即一种可以给手机等智能产品充电的服装,故答案为C项。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。短文主要讲述了弹性工作时间制的相关内容。
16.E 空前一句说弹性工作是指员工可以选择自己的工作时间,通常在老板或政府设定范围内工作,紧接着下一段开头说弹性工作时间制对员工有好处,故E项“世界上许多雇主都会向他们的员工提供这种方式”符合语境,衔接上下文。
17.G 空前一句说对于雇员来说,弹性工作时间制有明显的好处,由此可知此处应具体介绍好处体现的方面,故G项“这允许他们对自己的工作时间表做出改变来适应他们的生活”符合语境。
18.A 由文章结构和空处所在位置可知,此处为该段的主题句;通读该段可知,本段主要介绍了弹性工作时间制对于雇主的好处,故答案为A项。
19.D 由空前一句“Mst flextime schedules include cre time.”可知,大多数弹性工作时间包括核心时间。由此可知,空处应是介绍核心工作时间的内容,即每个人被要求工作的时间段,故D项正确。
20.F 由空处上文的内容可知,弹性工作时间制与弹性工作地点也可以结合在一起;由此可知,空处应是举例说明弹性工作地点的相关情况,故F项(例如,家庭办公越来越受到许多公司的欢迎)符合语境。
